Where do you go on a school trip every spring? In the UK, students go to many great places. They see swans and ducks in wetlands. They pick up shells (贝壳) at the seaside.
In Japan, cherries (樱花) are blooming (盛开的) by the beginning of April. Kids have picnic lunches, sing karaoke (卡拉OK) and dance under the trees. They also go boating and hiking. They take baths in hot springs (温泉).
In China, kids often take school trips in parks, museums or to a mountain. These days, outward bound (野外扩展) trips are very popular. Kids can learn about survival skills (生存技巧) and teamwork during these trips.
School trips can be great fun. But don’t get hurt when you travel outdoors. Here are some tips for you.
Listen to your teacher. On the bus, always wear a seat belt (安全带) if the bus has them. Do not rush or push when you get on or off the bus. Stay in your seat while the bus is moving. If you are at the zoo, remember not to touch or go near animals. If you are careful enough, you will have fun.

Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be "Yes". Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.
A rich, powerful organization（组织） in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites（卫星） into low Earth orbit(轨道)in 2015.
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population（人口） have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施)to access the web.
We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.
